Open cupholders still look dated in the Porsche. A loaded up 50i M-Sport is much more high end feeling and the low end torque is noticeably stronger than the Cayenne S. (no contest)
I don’t feel the Porsche DNA in the Cayenne and maybe that’s because I have always owned 911’s. It is interesting how many aspirational buyers are “wowed” by the brand and that’s enough of a draw to get them into their SUV’s. I just don’t feel Porsche’s SUV’s hit the same magical chord as their cars do.
Stop on by the Porsche forum if you think the new Cayenne is trouble free.

It has some many cheap hard scratchy plastic which was surprising.
